A firefighter from Goathland is celebrating after being awarded the Queen’s Fire Service Medal.

Rose Fearnley, 47, received the Award in the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours list in recognition of her services to North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service and our most remote communities.

Rose has been a firefighter with North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service for more than 16 years.

She initially joined the service when she discovered a lack of firefighters meant her local volunteer fire station was at risk of closing.
